percutaneous endoscopic NOTE: Laparoscopic surgery uses small cuts through the skin (percutaneous) through which an endoscope is passed into the body.
Identify the correct root operation term used in ICD-10-PCS for the following: Removal of cardiac pacemaker
removal NOTE: In ICD-10-PCS, the root operation term "removal" is only used to report the taking out a device from the body. A pacemaker is a device.

Identify the correct root operation term used in ICD-10-PCS for the following: Angioplasty of the right common iliac artery accomplished with an autologous tissue substitute
replacement NOTE: This angioplasty (repair of the artery) included a graft, meaning a portion of the artery was replaced. Therefore, in ICD-10-PCS, this is reported as a "replacement."
